Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Period Ended 31 December 2015

  • 1. Accounting policies

    Basis of measurement and preparation of accounts

    The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard for Smaller Entities (effective 2015).

    Turnover policy

    Turnover comprises the invoiced value of goods and services supplied by the company, exclusive of Value Added Tax and trade discounts.

    Tangible fixed assets depreciation policy

    Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost or valuation less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost or valuation of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: Plant and Equipment 20% reducing balance, Fixtures and fittings 10% reducing balance, Computer equipment 33% reducing balance.

    Valuation information and policy

    Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

    Other accounting policies

    Leasing and Hire purchase
    Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated by to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
    Deferred Taxation
    No Provision is made for deferred taxation on the basis that the established practice of the directors of RCE Ltd is to donate all taxable profits to Rochester Cathedral. As such no taxation is expected to ever to arise.
    Pensions
    Four employees were members of the Church Workers Pension Scheme which is a defined contributions Scheme. The total pension contributions paid by the company for the period to 31st December 2015 amounted to £4,790 (2014 £3,066).
